I think Om asato maa sadgamaya appears in Brihadaranyaka, but I'm not sure if it appears there as shanti mantra in the beginning of some chapter. I have included only those mantra's as shanti mantras which appear in the beginning of some chapters to pacify evil obstacles. can anobody clarify if Om asato maa sadgamaya appears as shanti mantra in Brihadaranyaka?

[edit] Mantras in devanagari

I would really appreciate it if someone could post these mantras in Devanagari also. It is very hard to read these mantras when they are written in english.

I live in the US and if I find it difficult to read these when written in english, then many others might be having trouble.

Thank you.

You should purchase the book the Mantra Pushpam. It contains all of the posted prayers and Vedic Recitations in Devanagari. The book is in expensive and pretty easy to find. You can probably get it from any book seller or distributor from India.


Hi, I'd like to write it in Devanagari, but dont know how to do it. can anybody help? Lokesh 2000 06:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you should check out the American Sanskrit Institute. He has a wonderful course and teaches the Alphabet. It is easy to learn and enjoyable. You can find it by browsing the internet using the name. Good Luck!!

I have started posting in Sanskrit. I will complete it within a week.--Sankarrukku 16:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

  • Avoid giving links in sub-headings, as against WP: MOS
  • Add references
  • Do not link an article (e.g. Shanti or Mantra) n no. of times in the same section
  • Add categories and link to the article to other suitable articles
  • At this moment, the article is mostly exact verses and translations. Build up sections on things like usuage in Hindu ceremonies etc. (which is mostly all put in the lead)
